Engraved Moleskine

I've been wanting to do this since High School. Unfortunately, at the time, the engraving was done directly onto the moleskine's oilcloth cover producing some sort of cancerous toxin which, of course, is bad. So the ability to engrave went away for a while and finally returned about a year ago, this time engraving onto a nice ageless leather cover that slips over the moleskines, and I had been searching for a reason to spend the money ever since. So then came the Holidays and the gift to my girlfriend:I was so pleased with the result. She's into animals and cool sorts of natural things (hence the design). I spent a good deal on the image and the design and sent the company the image to engrave on the leather with fantastic speed and precision. And she was happy with it as well, which is always a good thing. Here's the company's link, if anyone else was interested, I'd say it's well worth the money:
